beautiful kids and gorgeous light makes for a great shoot! i always love catching up with these two cuties for their yearly whitebox photo session.

i had so much fun photographing little miss harper on her photo session.  this little ray of sunshine just makes me smile with her adorable expressions and her funny little personality! she is everything that a little kid should be….sweet, silly and so cute!

i always love working with my model kids. jacob is a total pro! he has the sweet, the california cool, edgy and preppy look down pat.

i loved working with morgan on her downtown winston photo shoot. the camera loves her! she is a super talented dancer and really knows how to move her body for the camera. i am digging the red chucks and the cute dress!

maddy was a natural at the whitebox photo farm… carefree + beautiful skies + plenty of smiles made for a perfect session at the farm!

the senior model photoshoot is one of my most favorite days of the year!  after weeks of dreaming, planning, pinning, prop making and shopping it is so rewarding to see my creative vision come to life.  the senior model sessions would never work without the amazing team that i have and the super seniors that i select each year.  a huge thank you to carla white, kallos salon, sarah broyhill, ann loftis, melea and cliff schneider!

this year’s woodland wonderland senior model shoot was one for the books!  the girls, the wardrobe and the styling were on point, but mother nature threw us a curve ball.  just as the last few girls were finishing up with hair and make-up the bottom fell out of the sky.  it poured and there was no end in sight until after dark.  as a natural light photographer you have to adapt or die!  although some of my plans for locations and lighting did not work out i am so happy with the imagery that we were able to create at this senior model shoot.  my seniors did not let the pouring rain dampen their mood.  we embraced the monsoons and danced in the rain!

i just love connecting with kids and making their experience fun during our photo sessions.  it made my week to get this text from addy’s mom after our shoot. “we loved meeting you.  thank you for the shoot with addison.  she said you are her favorite photographer!”

here are some of my faves from our session.

it was fun spending some time with this cool and laid back girl!  can you believe she is only 12? sydney is such a beautiful girl with natural poise!

such a windy and gorgeous day with this cutie pie … this delightful spring weather+gracie’s awesome red hair+ her cool kid style makes the perfect combination!

this beautiful mother decided to take some time out for herself to get the full glamour+photo treatment! she was one of my valentine’s boudoir clients who decided to not only give herself a treat but also for her hubby as well! i-so-luv what she says on the blog of the super talented hair+makeup artist, Carla White, about being so happy that she took some time to remember that mother’s need to look and feel beautiful too! the vintage chairs were so fun to use and they are from the prettiest pieces antique+vintage shop!
